ACRAGLAS® DYES

ACRAGLAS® DYES Reviews & Ratings

Traditional Brown, Jet Black, Camo Green and White 'Toner' dyes actually mix with any epoxy to give even, true color throughout. Use straight for stock bedding or mix with White 'Toner' to match wood for crack repair, patching, invisible bedding lines. When bedding fiberglass stocks that are to be painted using our Camo Paints, the Brown, Jet Black and Camo Green colors are a perfect match, so bedding lines won't show. Brown is also the same as in ACRAGLAS and ACRAGLAS GEL® Kits. Use a very small amount of Jet Black to duplicate grip caps, buttplates, etc., in casting molds. White 'Toner' doesn't cast pure white; use to lighten other colors. SPECS: Packaged 1 fl. oz. (29.5ml) dye in screw-cap plastic jar.
Try-Pak contains 1 jar of each color.

Worked Perfectly
Excellent product and a must for the larger Accraglas kits. As you know, they do not include enough black dye in the smaller Accraglas kits. This will ensure you have enough dye to make the glass as dark as necessary. This will last for 10-15 rifles and a must for skim bedding the forearm.

Epoxy Dye White
My container of white dye lasted almost 12 years, but finally dried out to the point of non use. I ordered one container of white dye and two 8-40 taps. Received two dye and one tap. Calling my orders in from now on. When used with the new formula Accra Glass Gel I am now getting a yellowish white coloration. I tried a test mix with more dye, and it did not set up, properly. If using to lighten brown, green or black dyed epoxy, it should work great.

Beware, color has changed.
My old one ounce container of this brown dye was running low, so I ordered the identical replacement/part number/color, brown. I was unpleasantly surprised by the color of the new dye. Instead of the old reddish brown that blended so well with most walnut, the new color is more of a muddy grey/green. Think of the dark camo green and that is close. I tried it on a stock repair anyway, thinking maybe it will darken as it hardens, but I was wrong. This color is not brown and does not match at all like the last jar I had. Mixes well, easy to use, but the old color was what I wanted and still need. Will have to wait for a camo stock job to ever use this stuff again. BTW I stirred the heck out of the stuff before using.

Camo Green Dye
I had not had a chance to use this until recently and found that it had set to a hard consistency, not able to get out of jar.
